Restore a Discover or Command appliance from a system backup

You can restore the ExtraHop system from the user-saved or automatic backups stored
on the system. You can perform two types of restore operations; you can restore only
customizations (changes to alerts, dashboards, triggers, custom metrics, for example), or
you can restore both customizations and system resources.

Log into the Admin UI on the Discover or Command appliance.

In the System Configuration section, click
Backup and Restore.

Click View or Restore System Backups.

Click Restore next to the user backup or automatic
backup that you want to restore.

Select one of the following restore options:

Option

Description

Restore system customizations

Select this option if, for example, a dashboard was accidentally
deleted or any other user setting needs to be restored. Any
customizations that were made after the backup file was created are not
overwritten when the customizations are restored.

Restore system customizations and resources

Select this option if you want to restore the system to the state it
was in when the backup was created.

Warning:

Any
customizations that were made after the backup file was created are
overwritten when the customizations and resources are
restored.

Click OK.

Optional: If you selected Restore system customizations, click
View import log to see which customizations were
restored.
